Chapter 529: Galloping

Sangboen and the other two Regiment Commanders looked at each other; they knew well that the two before them were not bluffing, and any concealment or lie could invite disaster in an instant.

Thus, Sangboen took a deep breath, trying his best to make his voice sound steady:

"Duke, we actually... do not know the specific battle plan. We only received orders to cross the border, set up camp, and then wait for further instructions."

"Oh? Waiting for instructions?"

Luoning raised an eyebrow, his gaze like a torch, "Then do you think that with your meager forces, you can survive after crossing the border?"

"This..."

Sangboen was speechless; they also resisted such mindless orders, but military orders were like mountains, and they had to obey.

"Speak, my patience is limited," Luoning said indifferently.

The three Regiment Commanders exchanged a complex look; at this moment, they either had to stubbornly die or leak a bit of a secret.

Finally, Sangboen spoke: "We did indeed hear some rumors regarding your country, the Auduin Kingdom, about certain changes that might exist internally, which would help us occupy Miwu City."

"Changes?"

Luoning frowned slightly; what kind of changes could allow three Knight Orders to capture Miwu City?

Suddenly, his state of mind was violently disturbed, and a tremor appeared in his soul, something that had never happened before.

"This is... Kaierluosi?"

He closed his eyes to sense it; although this place was very far from Wubei Territory, he could sense that Kaierluosi was currently not in Wubei Territory.

"This direction, is it the Screaming Sea, or Miwu City?"

"Why did it go there?"

Luoning called out, telling Kaierluosi to come over immediately.

But after a while, the other's position did not seem to have changed.

Hum!

The aura on Luoning's body erupted suddenly, and a strong sense of suffocation instantly enveloped the three people before him.

He flashed forward and grabbed Sangboen by the throat, "Speak, what is going to happen to the Auduin Kingdom!"

Sangboen only felt that he had been enveloped by the aura of death, his whole body icy cold.

He was, after all, a Silver Moon Knight, an existence that stood proud in his region, but before Luoning, he could not muster the slightest thought of resistance.

Too strong, too strong.

"I... I really don't know, my lord!"

"The three of us Knight Orders have been at the border and only recently received orders to transfer here; there are many things we are not very clear about!"

Kadun and the other Regiment Commander, Huogeni, panicked; while hesitating whether to attack or not, they were knocked to the ground by Ruidar, their bones feeling as if they were broken, unable to move.

Ascending to Legendary had a qualitative difference from Sun-level, just like a meteor compared to gold.

Luoning's fingers applied more and more force, the other's face began to turn purple, and unable to make a sound, Sangboen could only shake his head continuously, his eyes revealing a glimmer of the desire to survive.

Luoning gave a light flick, and the other was thrown like a cannonball into the nearby forest, breaking who knows how many trees before finally stopping.

Ignoring the pain in his body, Sangboen immediately crawled to one knee, not having a single thought of wanting to escape.

"Duke, we really do not know the detailed situation; the higher-ups only told us to cross the border and did not explain any follow-up."

Luoning sensed Kaierluosi's position; the other had not moved.

With the constraints of the Master-Servant Contract, it was impossible for the other to disobey his orders, which meant Kaierluosi could not move right now.

And the only person who could make Kaierluosi leave Wubei Territory was Blanche.

Did something happen to Blanche?

"Something might have happened on Blanche's side; I need to go back immediately."

"I leave the matters here to you, Ruidar. If any nobles in the Auduin Kingdom want to attack Miwu City, I authorize you to kill them directly!"

"Also, try to keep the battlefield outside of Miwu City."

"I understand, my lord!"

Ruidar bowed to accept the order, "But, do you want me to go with you?"

He knew that Blanche was pregnant with the lord's child; compared to a city, the lord's offspring was more important.

"Your speed is too slow and cannot keep up with me. Besides... Miwu City cannot be lost!"

As he spoke, he had already darted out, his speed so fast that it caused a sonic boom.

"This is definitely not Sun-level!"

Sangboen was incomparably shocked, "My lord, could Duke Luoning be... could he be a Legendary powerhouse?"

Legendary?

Nearby, Huogeni and Kadun had just been calculating whether they should resist if only Ruidar remained after Luoning left.

Upon hearing the word 'Legendary', they froze.

Ruidar withdrew his gaze; although he was a bit worried, relying on the enhancement of Luoning's dual Extreme Origin Power, plus the fact that his progress as a Legendary Knight was already more than halfway, such strength was already invincible across the entire continent.

After this time, I fear the Legendary strength will be revealed.

"Your insight is not low."

Ruidar evaluated: "Although I am the only one here now, I advise you not to harbor any crooked thoughts, because..."

As he spoke, his body slowly floated into the air, looking down at the three from above: "I am also a Legendary."

"This..."

Sangboen's throat tightened, his expression one of astonishment and terror.

And Huogeni and Kadun were even more drenched in cold sweat, their bodies unable to stop trembling; they had just wanted to make a move against Ruidar.

"The Duke cherishes talent. Since you are not lackeys of the Holy Storm, the Duke will give you a way to live, just like Pulaxiduo of Watchtower."

Ruidar landed back on the ground, "Now you only have two choices: either surrender, or be killed by me here, every one of you."

A faint sentence, yet it left the three of them unable to resist.

"We, we surrender!" Sangboen said bitterly.

"Very good!"

Ruidar looked at the sky, "We shall set up camp here today; tomorrow morning, take your men and station them ten miles outside Miwu City."

He actually wanted to use this group of people to launch a direct counterattack on Moore City.

But considering that the situation on Luoning's side was still uncertain, and he did not know if any nobles would attack Miwu City, this plan was shelved for the time being.

At this moment, under the enhancement of the Wind Shadow Art, Luoning's speed had already exceeded the speed of sound; the sound of sonic booms was incessant, and in the blink of an eye, he had arrived from the border to the sky above Miwu City.

He had originally intended to go directly to Wubei Territory to check on Blanche's situation, but he did not expect to see Dawei flying in from the north.

Luoning's figure appeared in front of Dawei's Griffin, and the sonic boom followed closely behind; the immense momentum caused the Griffin to let out a panicked cry and nearly tumble.

"My Lord!" Dawei recovered from his shock.

"What are you doing coming to Miwu City?"

"My Lord, this is a letter Governor Aierlong asked me to bring to you; it was sent to you from Wushan Castle."

Luoning took it and scanned it quickly, his expression immediately turning gloomy.

The content of the letter was early intelligence; at that time, it said that Bruno had encountered a mishap in his cultivation and needed to recuperate, but Lulansi, based on this news and combined with the unusual movements outside Black Pine Mountain, deduced that His Majesty the King might have encountered a very serious problem.

"His Majesty..."

Luoning's brows were tightly locked; could a palace coup have occurred?

He asked Dawei: "When you left, where was the Lady?"

"In Wubei Territory. However, when I went to retrieve the letter, Kelami said that three Griffin Knights from Wangdu had come to visit the Lady."

Luoning's body swayed, and a sense of foreboding struck his heart.

In a trance, he understood why the other party wanted Sangboen and the others to cross the border yet remain stationed there without moving; their goal was to attract his attention and make him leave Wubei Territory.

Then they would trick Blanche into going to the Golden Feather Palace to be used as a hostage.

As for the unusual movements outside Black Pine Mountain, it was likely that Andeliya believed Wushan Territory was going to suffer this time and had prepared in advance.

This whole affair was clearly not Bruno's style.

Luoning had reason to believe that Bruno must have been usurped, and such a style of conduct was very fitting for Jialete.

"Fine, fine, fine, so that's how you want to play!"

Luoning clenched his fist, and the letter in his hand was crumpled.

All this time, Luoning had given Bruno face and had always followed the set of rules of the game for nobles in this society, never shouting the slogan, "Are kings and nobles born with high status?"

He had not expected that in the end, it was someone else who overturned the table first.

Woo~

Just then, a low cry came from the sky in the distance, and the Griffin beneath Dawei heard it and responded with a cry of its own.

"My Lord, there are Griffins coming from over there."

Luoning looked over, and with his eyesight, he could clearly distinguish the crest on the other party's armor.

These were Griffins from the Royal Family. (End of this chapter)
